Currently working on adjusted xtstats. Sneak peeks:
-SMG2 seems stronger than 2015, either that or it overperformed on Witcher -God of War is getting adjusted upwards, and that's been cross-checked against a lot of different comparisons -Last of Us is getting adjusted upwards for obvious reasons, also backed up by several comparisons -Witcher 3 is getting adjusted down a bit due to overperforming on BotW, did a bunch of calculations and comparisons to make sure it should -Division 3 is fucked --- It's Reyn Time. ...

Barely any of them ever actually make the real contests we got half of one that one time and we were already scraping the bottom of the strength barrel just to hit 32 female characters a 64 character female contest would have like 32 characters weaker than Amy Rose which sounds like a bad time unless its a female villains contest.

What about Shovel Knight.Keeping in mind that stats this full of SFF and with tons of new games (making it much harder to draw comparisons) involve a lot of guesstimation, Odyssey Is looking very good in the adjusted stats. You basically have to set it vs. Ultimate as a 51-49 AND give Shovel Knight a bit of extra "eh, I guess there was SFF?" love for the overall indie hierarchy across the bracket to make any sense, and for Shovel Knight to even match the strength it had 5 years ago. --- It's Reyn Time. ...

I think God of War looks pretty good where it is. At least not much of an adjustment is needed. Galaxy 2 is probably the best way to determine Witcher 3.

I see.Minor changes here and there. Penalized P4 slightly for its rally, boosted Xenoblade slightly to account for SFF, boosted Three Houses a bit to account for SFF. And by slightly I do mean slightly. Things were already lining up decently with the rest of the field (well, at least the few viable comparisons available were) - Xenoblade probably had a bandwagon in its final match because it's looking like it barely got SFFd by Ultimate. RDR1 ended up in the same ballpark as RDR2 so I didn't want to mess with P4's value too much. Ultimate's final value is the biggest question mark in the bracket, which is problematic because it affects like half the bracket, but I made some comparisons (Arkham City/Spider-Man, some 2015 stuff, ect.) and did my best. --- It's Reyn Time. ...

Currently working on adjusted xtstats. Sneak peeks: SMG2 looking stronger since 2015 seems strange. Just how high upward did you set Witcher 3? From my calculations, it should be around FFX in strength, which matches SMG2's 2015 xstats relatively well. The issue with setting Witcher 3 even higher is that MGSV will start looking boosted from 2015 and that's more problematic than SMG2. --- congrats to azuarc the GotD2 guru ... Copied to Clipboard!

TeslaCoi1 05/14/20 8:12:06 AM #245: |
Well, that mostly went as expected. BotW, Witcher 3, Dark Souls, and Skyrim in the top spots seems fair enough. I bet God of War would have gotten further if it hadn't been pitted against Witcher 3 so early. I do think a complex masterpiece like Xenoblade losing to a simple fighting game like Smash Ultimate is kind of weird though, much as I like Smash (though I still prefer Melee). One interesting thing that surprised me was Persona 5 making it so far, especially on a western game board. I guess I should play it sometime, seeing as I like both anime and JRPG's.
